The newsman who made headlines with his expose of MICHAEL JACKSON has been hit with a brain tumour.
Martin Bashir's Living With Michael Jackson TV special helped cement the pop superstar's reputation as an oddball who shared his bed with children.
And now the British news reporter, who hosts America's Nightline show, has been diagnosed with a brain tumour after a bang to the head prompted him to seek medical help.
Tests showed Bashir had a benign tumour.
A representative for Bashir says, "Martin is seeing this as a blessing in disguise. If he hadn't had the knock to his head, he would never have known about the tumour."
The newsman is not expected to undergo surgery, but doctors will monitor his condition.
